BLACK SOCIAL HISTORY : AFRO-SIERRA LEONEAN " JOHN KAREFA-SMART " WAS A POLITICIAN, MEDICAL DOCTOE AND UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR AND WAS SIERRA LEONE FOREIGN MINISTER UNDER PRIME MINISTER MILTON MARGAI : GOES INTO THE " HALL OF BLACK GENIUS "

After the death of Prime Minister Milton Margai in 1964, Karefa-Smart challenged Albert Margai for the SLPP leadership position, but he was unsuccessful, as Albert won the SLPP leadership and succeeded his brother as Sierra Leone's Prime Minister. Margai ultimately left the SLPP and politics overall and moved abroad to continue his professional career.

In 1996, Karefa-Smart returned to Sierra Leone's politics as the founder of the newly formed United National People's Party (UNPP). He stood as the UNPP candidate in the 1996 presidential election, but he was defeated in the second round election runoff by the SLPP candidate Ahmad Tejan Kabbah.

Status as leader of the UNPP

It was initially reported on 12 June 2006 that Karefa-Smart had been replaced as leader of the UNPP at a party convention; however, Karefa-Smart subsequently refuted this claim and called the convention null and void.[1]

Death

Karefa-Smart was living in the US state of Connecticut when he was given a month to live and admitted to a hospice. In late July 2010, the Sierra Leonean government flew Karefa-Smart back to Freetown, where he died on 26 August 2010.[2]
